Chief Economic Adviser V Anantha Nageswaran defended India's GDP statistics, stating the country does not artificially inflate growth figures through methodological changes. He emphasized that India follows internationally accepted practices and that revisions, like the recent rebasing, demonstrate transparency rather than manipulation. Nageswaran suggested criticism often stems from unmet expectations rather than data quality concerns.
